Inspiration

The ancient city of Takshashila was the site of perhaps the world’s oldest public policy school. It was the intellectual fountainhead not only of Indian statecraft but indeed of all walks of human endeavour. The Takshashila Institution derives inspiration from that civilisational lighthouse in the pursuit of its contemporary objectives.

The Takshashila Institution

The Takshashila Institution is a public charitable trust registered in Chennai and with offices in Bangalore.
